The Atlanta Falcons will face the Las Vegas Raiders in the final game of Week 15. The team announced multiple roster moves ahead of Monday’s prime-time matchup on ESPN.
Rookie defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro has officially been activated from the injured reserve list. Orhorhoro, who missed the last five games due to an ankle injury, will take linebacker Troy Andersen’s place on the 53-man roster.
Andersen has been placed on the injured reserve list with a knee injury. The Falcons will look to Nate Landman and JD Bertrand to fill in at linebacker for the remainder of the season.
Atlanta signed kicker Tanner Brown to the practice squad, filling the vacancy left by kick returner Jakeem Grant. The team also promoted linebacker Josh Woods from the practice squad for Week 15.
Woods can provide extra depth for the Falcons’ Monday night game against the Raiders. The 28-year-old has appeared in 67 games with eight starts over the last six seasons. For his career, Woods has recorded 122 tackles (76 solo) with one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and three QB hits.
Check out the Falcons’ updated 53-man roster and practice squad for Week 15. Monday’s game kicks off at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
